Golden Hind by Gct86 - FINISHED - from Mamoli plans

[Gct86]

Even if almost at the end, I want to start the build log of my golden hind self-built by Mamoli plans.

this is a project started ten years ago and ignored for a long time.

I have to finish the last details such as figurehead and decorations, which I will do either with linden wood or with milliput.

I put here some photos of the model, hope you like it!

do you think this bending is okay?

Culverins

 

My brunisher doesn't work, so I've painted my culverins using metalprimer tamiya and gun metal tamiya acrilic paint.

 

[Gct86]

Working with milliput is very difficult. I hope will do good decorations

Figurehead (polena)

 

I don't like modern figurehead of golden hind replica, a lonely deer head like a hunting trophy.

 

I rather an happy jumping doe

 

I'm trying to do this with milliput (I know putty isn t wood, but it's no bad)

Nice model, congrats.

Lovely work.  Looks great.  How did you solve your flag question?  I've seen some use double sided printing and other use a "double print" connected at the rope area and folded and glued.

I ve painted flags whit tissue acrilic color on both side with small brush and mask tape.
